Enjoy Being Miserable

I'll enjoy being miserable, here's why My wife has gone and left me, the bailiff's at the door. I'm not exactly dying but my health is very poor. I have a funny feeling that I'm subject to a curse. My hopes and aspirations all went into reverse. The weather's bloody awful, and my roof is caving in. Against the odds I'm facing I know I cannot win. The preacher at the corner is promising Man's doom, and the telly, when it's working adds to the general gloom. I sometimes got the feeling to my life there's little point, and so I played with notions to leave this earthly joint. I heard a voice within me say "Look on the dark side, mate, and it will surprise you what abundance brings your fate." So, enjoy being miserable, is what I have to say, and you will find enjoyment from dawn till end of day. If you're rich in sorrow, then in sorrow why not wallow?
